Fat grafting for recent wounds and burns
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using your own fat cells can help heal wounds or burns that need surgery. It is for adults who have had a fasciotomy, full-thickness skin loss, or burns, and are willing to receive a fat graft.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a wound that needed surgery (fasciotomy) or a deep skin loss or burn on your face, head, neck, or an arm or leg
- The wound is not caused by an infection
- You are willing to be randomly assigned to get a fat graft as part of your treatment
- You are not currently infected, pregnant, or planning pregnancy in the next year
- You have not had radiation treatment to the wound area

This trial tests if using your own fat cells during scar surgery helps heal better. If you need surgery to release a tight scar, you may be able to receive a fat graft from your own body.
This trial uses your own fat (nano-fat) to improve the look and feel of burn scars that are less than 6 months old on your chest, shoulders, or back. It aims to reduce scar hardness and redness, making the scar blend better with your skin.
This trial tests whether a “microsurfaced” donor-skin graft can heal deep burn wounds (partial- or full-thickness burns) after recent injury. It may help improve healing when the burn area is large enough and not infected.
This early-stage trial tests a self-assembled, lab-made skin substitute placed on severe burn wounds to help heal them when there aren’t enough donor sites for standard skin grafts. It may help patients with very large burns, but it has specific safety and eligibility limits.
This study tests whether using your own fat (taken from another part of your body) under a skin graft helps the healing and cosmetic result after penile reconstruction. The fat may improve how the graft takes and how the area looks.
This trial uses your own fat to fill in facial depressions or defects from an injury or surgery. First, fresh fat is used for grafting, and extra fat is frozen to use later if needed.
